I propose an amendment to strike clauses 2 and 3 from this bill, and to edit clause 1 to the following:
In the event of a large-scale natural disaster, the Atlasian government will attempt to assist the affected area where possible. If necessary, financial aid shall be given to the affected area at levels determined by the Secretary of State.
Pretty common sense, but it isn't a bad idea to legally determine resposibility for emergency aid internationally. "Man-made disaster" is way too subjective, imho.
That is not needed either. A clause stating that the federal government should procure aid to help in the event of natural disasters is already in the Powers of the Senate and Regions Amendment as well as the new Constitution. Like it or not this nation only has a responsibility to provide aid for the citizens and residents of Atlasia not the whole world. While I believe the government should provide aid in the case of natural disasters it should not be forced upon the government to do so. This is unneeded.
